   I installed sway on the Fedora box for kicks. Logging out and back in sway   
   is jumping into the deep end.  $mod, which is the Windows key be default,   
   and  brings up a terminal, 'foot' by default.  It's good to have   
   another  working computer to figure out the next step. The wifi connection   
   took some messing around. Starting Brave requires 'flatpak run   
   com.brave.Browser'.   
      
   It's tiled by default, and keyboard driven. The default config file isn't   
   too far off and reading it gives you the key bindings. Setting the mouse   
   to left handed isn't intuitive.   
      
   I'd have to change my work flow and use a lot more virtual desktops but it   
   might work. It works with Wayland and is lightweight. Hyprland is a   
   compositing WM so it can do all the weird stuff I don't like in the first   
   place. It can use the i3 config files from an X11 system.   
      
   I wouldn't turn a Linux newbie loose with it. There is a text menu of   
   sorts and search if you know what the app is called. It works well enough   
   except for the flatpak stuff.
